With its blend of action scenes (another thing missing from some of the other DC Ink titles), the appropriate blue-shaded color scheme and illustrations, and the occasionally darker-edged crime drama with a sometimes duplicitous cast of characters - such as the intriguing Madeline 'Mads' Wallace, a sly young 'Nightwalker' apprehended early on who ingratiates herself with Bruce - this graphic novel is a fine addition to Batman's 80 (!) years of being Gotham City's foremost guardian. (However, although she is sort of strict or severe - as in the term 'draconian' - she is an honest, hard-working and well-meaning cop on the case.)

In a nice change-of-pace, the seasoned detective is not Jim Gordon, but a lady appropriately named Draccon. With Bruce now legally an adult and just becoming responsible for Wayne Enterprises - plus his interest in criminology, since the cold-blooded murder of his parents - he awkwardly / quickly inserts himself into the Gotham City PD's investigation via his acquaintance with a GCPD detective. The story opens with Bruce Wayne turning eighteen and a domestic terrorist squad, known as the 'Nightwalkers,' taking aim at Gotham City's elite. This book sort of looked / felt like it could easily fit in with the character's already-established canon. With Batman: Nightwalker - though it should really be titled Bruce Wayne: Nighwalker - the DC Ink imprint finally gets it right this time, especially after I found some of the other recent offerings (featuring interpretations on teenage versions of Raven, Harley Quinn, etc.) rather lackluster.
